This is Halloween weekend, and here on Something Offbeat, our theme today is campfire stories. Sit back, relax imagine toasting some marshmallows and listen in to a story about a famous inventor working in laboratory housed on a moving train and twist on the goldilocks tale that ended with an arrest... and yes, these are true stories. Then, we’ll hear about some researchers who have looked into stories that might be more fantastical than they are real. One is an author who looked into a UFO story from the 1940s and podcasters trying to get to see if there’s any truth to folk tales about creatures supposedly lurking in American forests.
